$2 million buyout after the second year is pretty cheap. I guess BK wanted away to get out on the cheap if he didn't like LSU and another University was chasing him.

Scott Woodward makes the expectations, goals, and rewards very clear. This is about winning national championships. I wonder how many of the other extensions and new contracts in the past few months have had such bare and clear goals built in. I know there are reward clauses everywhere, but this seems very pointed. Kelly is going to win, get rewarded for it, and we as fans are going to love it!

Does he get to use Les Miles old condo to bring coeds back to?

So basically, if we wins a national championship, his salary becomes 100% guaranteed no matter what happens to him after that. Talk about motivation.

I love how a guy making 9 million dollars a year gets a vehicle allowance. I think he'll be able to buy that benz outright.

CrystalPreserves•41 months

he gets an airplane allowance, too

It's a lot. But it's not 15 mil/year like some were saying. Still a lot...

For those wondering, private jet rates go from $2000-$3000 an hour (including dead head flights) that’s another 100-150K a year

Those incentives are absolutely insane.

The money they discuss is all relative. Hiring Mulkey has already paid off in season ticket sales and my guess is T stadium will fill back up"… Anyone notice ND AD didn’t seem bothered so must be issues with admin there. They said Kelley didn’t even ask them to match

I was thinking Kelly was Irish…but he’s obviously German
